The timing on this hiatus couldn’t possibly have been worse for a comic like Promise Promises. New Year’s resolutions are huge inspiration for my kind of content. On the up side though, I just read that the third week of January is when most people start slipping off the resolution wagon so here’s hoping we can all jump back on it with a bit of humour together.

I wanted to say another big thank-you to Brian, Denver and Ted for helping me out with the guest comics. You guys clearly put a lot of time and effort into those and I really appreciate it. It was a huge relief to me that the site wasn’t down completely and I hope I can return the favour some day.

I also have to give a shout out to the staff, especially the nurses at University Hospital here in London. They were amazing, I honestly don’t know how they do those jobs let alone keep it together so well. There were people in the ER when I checked in that I would have smacked and sent home for being mean, rude or just hypochondriacs. One guy beside me was blasting this poor doctor because he couldn’t do anything about a tooth ache. Tooth ache? Dude went to emergency with a tooth ache? How about I punch you in the mouth then you can go see a dentist? Jerk. But, not to dwell on the negative, they took excellent care of me and I’m grateful for their help.

Oh! Incidentally, that switching hands while snacking thing I wrote about in today’s comic actually works.

The archives are uploaded and I’ve got the latest strip up.  This is terribly exciting!

Lots of fun things planned for now and for the new year, so if you’re checking Promises Promises out for the first time, welcome, I hope you’ll come back often.  If you’re returning, sorry for the delay, and thanks for coming back.

I’ve set up comments for the first time, please feel free to give a holler.  I haven’t figured out how to add pages yet so if you’d rather you can contact me via email, jules@promisescomic.com is the addy.  I received some really nice email while the site was down, which tickled me, but I’m also open to constructive critique and suggestions.  Please, no flaming or spamming.  I’m trying to keep this site PG.
